bin/df df.c Log:
 Based on The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 6 IEEE Std 1003.1, our
 current implementation of df(1) is does not properly format the output under
 certain conditions. Right now -kP and -Pk are not the same thing. Further,
 when we set the BLOCKSIZE environment variable, we use "1k" instead of "1024",
 making the header display incorrectly.
To quote the specification: "When both the -k and -P options are specified, the following header line
  shall be written (in the POSIX locale):
"Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on\n" - If -P has been specified, check to make sure that -k has not already been
   specified, if so, simply break instead of clobbering the previous blocksize
 - Use 1024 instead of 1k to make the header POSIX compliant

It seems that -P flag to df resets previously specified -k for no good
reason. POSIX expressly talks about -P and -k being used together.
